It might be helpful to install the helicopter view in order to see braking
points by yourself and the AI. I haven't installed this yet, but it sounds
easy. I got this from the HG forum:
"New Helicopter View in F1RC
You have to use the F1RCMaster v.1.2. (now v.1.3)
1o open the Cameras Editor and Import the actual values
2o Select the Chase 1 (F2) camera
3o change the next values:
Y-position=61.xxxx
Z-position=22.xxxx
Angle=0.19xxx
Pitch=47.xxxx
4o Export the changes
This camera view is good for the replays, the exit and the overtake
manouvers specially, but not for driving. Well, if you liked Micromachines,
for driving too...
Note: it's very important set the distance view to Maximum (1500 meters).
Some textures aren't showed in the zones that the Graphical engine of the
game "believes" that you aren't viewing anything at this moment... It's a
tip for accelerate the rendering, I guess... "
